Crufts: The GSD - a very relevant perspective.

One needs to compare the GSD exhibited at Crufts with previous Crufts with the very few exceptions when the Crufts GSD Judge was a top GSD specialist judge, such as Terry Hannon.

It is also necessary to remember the vast majority of outstanding GSD Champions and Championship Show winners with numerous wins gained under TOP GSD Specialist Judges, including German SV Judges.were not entered at Crufts 2011.

It is only when you consider these two very relevant and important points above that you have the Crufts 2011 entry and results in any kind of reasonable perspective.

If anyone has any doubts or any disagreement with what I have written here, I suggest they look carefully at the actual entries and results of the major GSD Shows and Events held during the rest of 2011. Then you will have my comments here emphatically substantiated.

You are absolutely right David,however, when a dog that comes from the right side of the fence and, has some success, we should be gracious enough to acknowledge it.

I agree Mackenzie, and also we should keep Crufts GSD entries and wins in perspective.

You've got to be in it to win it.

 cliches - cliches - you simply prove my point. about your comment

So, David, maybe you will be so kind as to tell us what is wrong with this dog, other than the fact it doesn't belong to you?  I think he looks gorgeous!  (And at least he's NOT an 'Alsatian'!)

There's also the little fact...hardly worth mentioning, mind you...that he's the British Vice Sieger, so the judges at Crufts aren't alone in thinking he's an outstanding dog.

Perhaps you and others will be so kind (and sensible) to read the title of this thread. I respectfully suggest this is an obvious thing to do before posting a comment. For your information I have already commented on the "Elmo" thread.
